You are playing a game and you have the >Mentor>Mentor Lines window open.  Close
that window and open the >Windows>Thinking Lines window instead to see what the

The Mentor lines start a second chess engine process.  The idea behind that if
you can play different personalties/engines mentoring you that than what you are
playing.  That could be useful if are playing a weaker personality and you want
to see how the "real" CM9K engine would handle the position.
